From 1900 to 1921, the theater was the Danielson Playhouse. It changed to become the Orpheum Theatre. In 1954, the name changed to Danielson Cinema which it remained until a huge fire burned it to the ground in 1978.

I only visited this theatre once, to see a showing of CABARET in the 1970's. Recently, when driving through Danielson from Rhode Island, where I live, I looked for the theatre and wondered what had happened to it. Now I know. I remember it as place with some character.

These first three old photos are of the Orpheum Theatre in the 1950s.

Uncertain if this is the Danielson/Orpheum. Taken in 1912.
